Las Palmas is well-connected to both international and domestic destinations via the Gran Canaria Airport, located just 25 kilometers south of the city center. The airport offers frequent flights to mainland Spain, Europe, and other Canary Islands, making it a convenient entry point for travelers. For those arriving by sea, the Port of Las Palmas is a major stop for cruise ships and ferries, linking the island with other parts of Spain and Africa.
Once in the city, getting around is easy thanks to the modern and efficient public transportation system. The city’s bus network, operated by Guaguas Municipales, covers most areas, and there are also intercity buses (known as “Global”) for those wishing to explore the rest of Gran Canaria. Taxis are readily available and affordable, and the city’s compact nature makes it easy to explore on foot or by bike.
Las Palmas is also accessible by ferry from other Canary Islands and mainland Spain. The road infrastructure is excellent, with highways connecting the city to other parts of Gran Canaria, allowing visitors to explore nearby towns, beaches, and natural parks.
